Carolyn Lavender, 2005 residency, Phoenix, AZ
I was born in Seattle, Washington and moved with my family to Arizona while still in high school. I attended Northern Arizona University for a BFA in Drawing, a BS in Education, and Arizona State University for an MFA in Drawing. Resumé highlights: 2004 Arizona State University Art Museum Show "Democracy in America", the 1995 and 2007 Tucson Museum of Art Biennials, and the "Group Show of Strangeness", Durex Arte Contemporanea, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2001, I helped found the Phoenix artist-run space, "eye lounge" and was a member for 3 years. In 2005, I was an artist with the Studios Midwest Residency program. I took away a vivid experience of Galesburg, the trains, the people, my fellow artists and the graveyards. And, without realizing it at the time, my current body of work started with a small piece I did during the residency for the Art Tile project at the visitor's center.
